We installed a new white ASCOT upright cooker into our new white kitchen over a year ago now and we have worked both the stove and gas cook top very hard from day one. Absolutely no problems experienced to date. Very easy to use, clean and maintain. Excellent look, feel and most of all reliable, especially given the 5 year manufacturer’s warranty. Highly recommended.

I have the same problem as Rob - I am replacing them for a third time in 6 years. Schweigen have told me they haven't had any problems with their doors. They said that I had been putting too much weight on the door! The weight is in the triple glass. My original service guy also told me the hinges were not strong enough for the door and we have been very careful not to put any extra weight on it.

I have had this cooker for 5 years and have now replaced the hinges twice which cost $277 a time first time was under warranty and the service guy said they were under rated for the triple glass door as it is too heavy and it's a common fault so when I rang swiegen to say they had gone again and said it wasn't good enough they said they don't have any issues with them?
Well the cooker looks good but I would not buy another one.
